Electrons are accelerated through a potential difference V and protons are accelerated through a potential difference 4 ~V . The de-Broglie wavelengths are _e and _p for electrons and protons respectively. The ratio of _e _p is given by: (given m_e is mass of electron and m_p is mass of proton).
Options
- A_e _p = m_p m_e
- B_e _p = m_e m_p
- C_e _p = 1 2 m_e m_p
- D_e _p =2 m_p m_e
Correct answer
D. _e _p =2 m_p m_e
